Hello,
I get a gpu usage of only 60-65% on this task:
http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=1966254

I also seems to take longer to complete it than other tasks.

Some weeks ago I did some testing with Einstein's cuda-app. This app uses the gpu only between 9 and 15% and I have the feeling, that its a waste of resources to run an app like this.
I modified the client_state.xml (section for Einstein), setting the <count> there to 0.22
This had the effect, that I could run up to four einstein wu's at a time on my quadcore machine. GPU-usage was the around 60%. Not a single wu did not validate.
Modifying the client_state.xml is a temporary method. Any connection to the project resets this setting, so using an app_info.xml is a better way to do so.
I tested also: 2 Einstein + 1 Seti cuda wu's, worked OK
1 Einstein and 1 Milkyway, worked also fine. 2 Einstein and 1 MW caused the MW wu to time out.
I'm not familiar with the gpugrid app since my GTX260-192 fails to run this. But looking back to my tests, more than one gpu-app at a time should be possible. Make shure, that the total <count> of all active gpu-apps is <= 1.
For testing I found it good to download a bunch of wu's, disable the connection to the project (no more wu's), stop boinc, modify client_state.xml, restart boinc and be happy about a better gpu-usage.
For permanent use you have to write (or use) app_info.xml's.

hey everyone,

I tried the client_state thing, and I was able to fit 1 gpugrid and 2 einstein tasks on my gpu without problems (makes it more productive!)

I managed to install a app_info file on einstein, can anyone please help me create one for gpugrid too?

thanks

EDIT: I still have some unused gpu ressources on that card, so gpugrid won't be slowed down, meaning I'm really running an optimal configuration

You need to check your memory usage as well. GPU usage is not the only limit.
I usually check that with MSI Afterburner.

i have done that, this limited me to 2 einsteins, otherwise i could have run 4-5 einsteins
